Did a reservoir change this morning and increased feeding to 1440µS (720 ppm). I've been topping up the ph each day to 6.1 and it drops to 5.7 by the next morning. Reservoir temperatures are getting warmer (up to 74⁰F) with the spring weather but the Z7 is controlling the fallout from that very well.
Three days ago all the plants shifted gears and started growing about an inch a day and consuming almost double the water and the nute concentrations began to drop, hence the res change and nute increase. These 4 plants layed out nicely with the LST and looks like they're going to make for a good scrog. I did a lot of tucking and folding today to get the light spread around but didn't take any fan leaves out. Day 45 of veg today and looks like I'll be flipping in about 15 days.
The Dinafem Cheese Auto looks healthy but sure seems to grow slow by comparison to photo plants. They say to top between 14 and 21 days. I'm at day 15 today and the third set of leaves are barely noticeable in the middle of the plant. Guess we'll see what happens with it?????
Outstanding. I had a severe root issue a few days ago. I pulled my plants and put them in soil. Two are rolling, the other two are still mopey.
So my thread is gonna have to be reclassified as a soil grow i guess. I have been seriously thinking about Z7. Ive never heard anything bad about it. But its $75 per unit. Hydroguard totally failed me this time.
Stoked for you Dawg. Everything looks great
Your plants look great and sound like they're drinking up those nutes exactly how you want them to at this stage, an inch a day is outstanding. 
I did read that they only breed in soil or soil like substances, I just wasn't sure if I might still get issues because the hydroton does wick the moisture up a little in my setup and I see moisture in the clay pebbles. I'm going to drop the water level further from the bottom of my net pot now that my babygirl's roots are long enough to go swimming. 
on a plus note my babygirl is growing steady and fast. 
I'll try and get a pic if one ever shows up again.. I won't be sad if no more show up though. 
Wow so guessing these are the same lights you usually use in your grows, from reading your other threads, wow you get great results and yield from 400s. 
definately a fungus gnat, also found lots of cases online, a good article in the link I posted aswell. Just trying to be informative not a smarty pants, incase anyone else ever runs into my little problem. Fungus Gnats thrive in DWC setups if they can gain access to your medium, otherwise they will just show up and terrorise your leaves.
